In summer: close off some supply vents on 1st floor to force additional
cold air to the second floor. If your thermostat has a setting for
continuous fan setting, you might try using that to keep the air
circulating, bringing the warm air that rises to the 2nd floor down.

In winter: close off supply vents on 2nd floor to force more warm air out
the vents on the 1st floor.

Install ceiling fans in bedrooms to move air - the air will feel cooler if
it is moving.

We are in a relatively new house with a heat pump system.
The upper level is on average 5-10 degrees warmer than the lower level.
Upper level has an air return which takes air from the master bedroom
and the hallway. What suggestions/tips to help better cool the upper
level?

Thanks



Hmmm,
Law of physics. Unless you have two zone system, upstairs tend to be
warmer no matter what. On top of the suggestions already given
installing ceiling fan(s) is another option. My system fan is running on
low speed all the time. And have two ceiling fans upstairs.
